After a short lull from the heat wave at the end of June, the extreme temperature in the last few days reached this far as the edge of the Rocky Mountains – part of a dramatic trend that was directly messy against climate change.
US National Weather Service (NWS) warns of dangerous temperatures that continue in this region for the beginning of the week, with temperatures of up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit (47 Celsius) recorded in the southern California Monday, and the heat advisor released for the community outside the LOS.

Hot weather followed the previous heat wave that hit the same area at the end of June.
A study by a group of leading climate scientists found that the condition would be “almost impossible” without climate change caused by humans.
The World Weather Attribution Group said that global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions, made June hot waves at least 150 times more likely.
Hot conditions see the daily temperature of the record of all time damaged three consecutive days in British Columbia.
Last month was the hottest June in Note in North America, according to data released by the European Union Climate Monitoring Service.
Human activities have pushed global temperatures up, triggering storms that are getting tougher, extreme heat waves, droughts and forest fires.
